Looks very nice, maybe now I can stop writing my course for absolute beginners

I like your step by step aproach, many tutorials jump from "Hello World" to far more complex stuff.

Good work.

file updated

it's not as colourfull as tarantino's kill bill (i've done mostly black on a white screen while tarantino went for bloody red on the silver screen) but I've finished Primer I... it's a html file of over 100 kb, 10 sections, all the way up to arrays

but i'm too tired, i let it be for the moment, if you feel the urge, please go through it and check it for errors... bye

some small fixes and updates (thanks for mailing me people)... now taking votes for the next part, what should it include?!? what's more what a beginner should *really* need to get started?

Very nice work blueznl - and useful too

Well, you wrote you welcome reports of mistakes: the only mistakes i found were some typos and I read almost all

"a computer and accessoiries (pretty obvious isn't it)"
"PureBabisc

"
"Variables are always local to the procedure they are defined in. Here's one more example, and this time we nest the procedure calls..." is in Courier (and was intended in Arial i think..)

thanks!

changed the font, couldn't find the other two... accessoiries is the way it is spelled, according to my spell checker, the other misspelling, where is that one?

expanded a little, added some more, added a toc, started work on primer II

added: style, windows, id's, numbers, handles, menus, toolbars, events, and gadgets...

blueznl, good work !

Do you consider release it as an compact .chm file one day ?
Would be nice, than it can also placed as a PB tutorial, e.g. on PureArea.net
